I just received offers from SAIC and Boston for a master’s program in art history. I’m interested in contemporary art and especially in new media and hoping to do a PhD after this program. It seems SAIC has better professors and stronger research power in contemporary art than Boston. But there are two points I’m concerned about SAIC.
Firstly, SAIC does not have PhD programs. So I cannot connect with potential PhD advisors in SAIC. Secondly, SAIC is an art school. I’m kinda worried it might be not helpful for me to do some interdisciplinary research.
